The Name of the Star (Shades of London #1)

Maureen Johnson wrote this ghost story about a Lousianna teen that ends up in London .

 

 London marks a memorable occasion. For Rory, it's the start of a new life at a London boarding school. But for many, this will be remembered as the day a series of brutal murders broke out across the city, gruesome crimes mimicking the horrific Jack the Ripper events of more than a century ago. Soon "Rippermania" takes hold of modern-day London, and the police are left with few leads and no witnesses. Except one. Rory spotted the man police believe to be the prime suspect. But she is the only one who saw him. Even her roommate, who was walking with her at the time, didn't notice the mysterious man. So why can only Rory see him? And more urgently, why has Rory become his next target? In this edge-of-your-seat thriller, full of suspense, humor, and romance, Rory will learn the truth about the secret ghost police of London and discover her own shocking abilities.
Make this another awesome ,gotta get on the read list . I'm telling you all these awesome Y.A genre coming out. It seems thought that the adult fixtion dont produce anymore good horror or paranormal storys anymore. Now when I say Paranormal stories I am not talking love stories so much. I mean don't get it twisted people I love a good sexy paranormal novel every now and again! But sometimes for us hard core horror fans,we would prefer a nice shit your self scary novel!! That is in the grown folk fiction ! :)
